I see someone has mentioned tghe Leicester University site. There are many trade directories and P O directories available on CD-ROM from the various suppliers. Even if you don't find your ancestor these make very interesting reading. Martin

Hi all, I am trying to find a business of my Aunt Elsie Gould. (nee Hennell) She was a Milliner(Hat Maker) Her shop was named Goulds and was situated at 80 & 82 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, S.E.22. Phone Number Forest Hill 1504. (I have an old paper bag with the details on-Buff with gold stripes)(bit of History). It was around in late 40's 50's. Was wondering if there was a website to look these things up. Many thanks Sandra
